LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was not just a big hit at UK retail, but a major digital sales success, too.
The Warner Bros and TT Games title saw 61% of its sales come via download stores, according to GSD. That means the game only narrowly misses out on matching Elden Ring's huge launch back in February (digital and physical combined).
It is comfortably the second biggest game launch of the year overall in the UK. And the fastest-selling LEGO game in history.
In terms of digital, Xbox was the dominant platform accounting for 41% of sales, PlayStation accounted for 34%, PC 18% and Switch 7%.
Overall (so including physical retail), PlayStation was the biggest platform with 39% of sales, followed by Xbox (34%), then Switch (16%) and finally PC (11%).
Also new this week in the GSD digital charts is Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition at No.9. The remaster of the classic RPG sold best on Nintendo Switch (44% of sales), followed by PS4 (31%), then PC (15%) and finally Xbox (11%).
Here is the GSD UK Digital Top Ten (week ending April 10th):
